Umbraco Forms 8.1.4: Deleting form records won't work #8295

[RunnicFusion]

In my Umbraco 8.1.1 installation I can't delete Forms records. When selecting one or mulitple records and pressing the delete icon I receive the message: "Excuted Action: Successfully executed action Delete" but nothing happend. Same happens on different forms.

After inspecting the call that has been made I noticed an 500 error on /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoForms/Record/PostExecuteRecordSetAction at some of the delete actions:

ExceptionMessage: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
	ExceptionType: "System.NullReferenceException"
	Message: "An error has occurred."

Thanks, this is a duplicate of issue #100 that has been there for quite a while! 🙈

I'll close this as a duplicate of #100, you can track the progress of that one by subscribing to it.

A workaround is available on the related issue #364

Hi @nul800sebastiaan,

Thanks for your quick reply.
Just one question; are you suggesting that I need to create a custom workflow that listens tot the delete state of RecordEventArgs? Their is no permanent fix yet?

Update: After searching for a while i've upgraded Umbraco Forms to the latest version. After that the bug was solved. Custom workflow (that i've need to attach to - in my situatiob - a lot of forms) was not a good solution for me.
